Reviews
Wonderful tour in beautiful Uganda.
We had a very busy itinerary going the length of the country. Karumuna did a great job getting us to all of our destinations. As everyone kept telling us, you're travelling on 'African roads' so you will often encounter dust or muddy tracks - Karumuna handled these very well. The safari was great and the chimp and gorilla tracking are experiences of a lifetime. Many thanks to Richard for a wonderful tour and great memories.

Great for the budget traveler, with customizable itins and wonderful people
We booked a customized itinerary based on the 7-day Gorillas and Savannah Safari. Richard Kisembo was a joy to deal with electronically in the months leading up to our trip, and he was equally enthusiastic when we finally met in person in Kampala. I was surprised to find out that Richard would not be joining us for our trip. Instead he introduced us to our guide Ahmed, who became our friend as much as our guide over the course of our trip.
I do think that our being young (both under 30) and adaptable budget travelers made this arrangement work out as well as it did. The trip was not luxurious, but it was perfect for us.

Tremendous experience in Uganda.
we spent really good time with Karumuna Safari. The staff is very professionnal.
We felt secured everywhere we went to and the service was really good while discovering fantastic areas of Uganda.
For my first safari, I had the chance to see 4 of the big 5 animals.
Well done for the whole staff!

Good offer for good price.
Karamuna Safaris offer lets to see very much - from Uganda's villages to nature. I took the photos of the gorillas, antilopes, giraffes, hipos, elephants, many birds. Food was OK, sometimes - very OK. My group lived in budget hotels, so hot water wasn't in everywhere, but I understand that it's not 4 or 5 stars hotel. Our guides were nice and kind. Only my special ask - don't hurry in savannah, better wait, when the tourists want to see and take pictures of the animals.

Friendly and willing to please you and assist you with any matter
I booked a seven days safari trip with Karumuna Safaris visiting Queen Elizabeth, Bwindi Impenetrable forest and Lake Mburo. Since the first moment I got in touch with Richard, he was flexible to made some changes in the itinerary and made the trip really easy. Due to some personal issues I had to cancel my trip and reschedule it for a month later without any problem.Even having experienced some issues in one of the game drives, spending an hour without any other tourists around with the gorillas definitely made my trip an unforgettable experience.
Fair price paid for an interesting week discovering what Uganda has to offer!

A good travel companion who is able to make you feel comfortable and add value to your trip.
As solo traveller and passionate wild life photographer, I travelled through Uganda for 11 days with Richard, a 15 years experienced guide with whom I had preliminarily made contact and defined the details of the trip during the booking stage.
The tour was well organized with sufficient time for relaxing and enjoying the places after tiring days spent on game drives, various wild life activities such as Mountain Gorillas trekking and long driving sessions to reach the next destination. It was also possible to adapt the program based on short notice requests/developments to suit weather conditions and/or travelling schedule; this added value to the experience and made it feel like not pre-packaged but authentic and more intriguing.
I would personally reccommend Karumuna Safaris for the fair value for money and the extensive knowledge and experience of his guide Richard who always showed a high level of preparedeness and availability to respond to the traveller's requests.
